Level 2 Player
Victory (2)
‘They lost reason.’
They even lost the leeway to recall the disadvantage of the Sanctuary skill and cover it.
“Sanctuary!”
Someone cast the Sanctuary skill again. This time Jin-su moved his hand.
Kwajik!
Before the Sanctuary skill perfectly activated, he shot an Ice Piercing Arrow and pierced the healer’s heart. When the healer died, the Sanctuary skill was canceled midway without being completed.
“We’re going to die! We’re all going to die here!”
“We have to run!”
“Uaaaaak!”
The Chabel Guild members completely lost fighting spirit and fell into confusion.
“T, this can’t be.”
Lucas looked at the dying Chabel Guild members with eyes full of astonishment and a terrified expression.
Although the damage was larger than expected, he was convinced it would become a successful harvest festival. But why on earth did such a result come out?
“This is a dream! It’s a dream!”
Lucas denied reality. The Chabel Guild was a giant guild that possessed 300 players. Such a Chabel Guild couldn’t collapse to only 1 player.
“Don’t deny it. This isn’t a dream but reality.”
Jin-su’s calm voice rang in Lucas’s ears.
“T, that can’t be. That can’t be.”
Lucas shook his head and closed his eyes then opened them. But the scenery in front of his eyes didn’t change.
“No! No! This can’t be! This can’t be!”
“Noisy. Now go.”
Jin-su swung the Ice Dragon Staff toward Lucas.
Kwajik!
The breath of Lucas, the guild master of the Chabel Guild who was denying reality, was cut off. The remaining Chabel Guild members also followed Lucas.
[You have achieved for the first time the impossible feat of fighting and winning against 200 players of higher level than yourself.]
[Title Rebellion of the Weak is granted.]
[Title Miracle Strategist is granted.]
[Title Level Destroyer is granted.]
[Title The One Who Achieved Impossible Feats Six Times is granted.]
[Blessing of Hwangsin has grown.]
[Blessing of Hongsin has grown.]
‘To think an impossible feat would be granted.’
He didn’t expect even this. From the start, because when the enemy is not a monster but a player, the achievements granted themselves aren’t many.
‘Titles were also acquired and blessings also grew.’
It was a battle where many things could be obtained besides points and items. But no joyful or pleasant emotion was felt. Rather, a bitter emotion was felt.
‘Is fighting this many players the first time since that time?’
It seemed there was a memory of feeling a similar emotion at that time before the regression too.
‘It’s just cleaning trash.’
For the sake of other players too, trash had to be cleaned in time. The moment Jin-su organized his thoughts like that and moved his body to do the cleanup.
“Jin-su!”
Shin Su-a approached and tightly hugged Jin-su.
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault. You did well.”
And she said in a voice full of sincerity.
“Yeah, I know too.”
Jin-su smiled and stroked Shin Su-a’s head.
***
Shin Su-a suppressed the heart that wanted to run to the battlefield right away. Various kinds of curses binding Jin-su’s body were visible.
‘If I was by his side...’
She could have used the recovery skill to undo the curses.
She could have used the purification skill and recovery skill to treat the rotting body.
But right now Shin Su-a was not by Jin-su’s side. She was only watching the battlefield while hiding in a distant place together with Leo.
Eujeok! Eujeok!
Unlike Leo who was excitedly tearing and eating meat, Shin Su-a’s worry was as high as a mountain.
‘All the Shadow Summons extinguished.’
Now only Jin-su remained alone.
‘I know there is a solution.’
But the fact that that solution was not herself was too heartbreaking.
“Nyaaang?”
Leo who was doing a delicious meat mukbang was startled. Because its body was changing hazily.
Jin-su switched the status window from dark-type to holy-type. A summon cannot exist without the summoner.
“See you a little later, Leo.”
“Nyaaaaang!”
At Shin Su-a’s words, it screamed and strongly resisted. But it wasn’t something that could be endured by enduring.
Sarararak!
Leo who was trying to endure forcibly was forcibly reverse summoned.
A fierce battle broke out. And the winner of that battle was Jin-su.
Tadadadak!
As soon as the battle ended, Shin Su-a ran toward Jin-su.
Jin-su’s face was visible. He looked tired. He looked lonely and hard. He looked in pain.
“Jin-su!”
Shin Su-a hugged Jin-su without realizing it.
“It’s okay. It’s not your fault. You did well.”
Shin Su-a sincerely thought so.
“Yeah, I know too.”
Jin-su’s hand stroked Shin Su-a’s head.
“Sorry. Because I couldn’t be of any help. Because I left you to fight alone.”
“Just giving buffs before the battle is enough. It’s late so let’s go back quickly.”
“Yeah.”
Jin-su and Shin Su-a reverse summoned the summons, finished the cleanup, and returned to the city.
***
Jin-su and Shin Su-a had a simple meal and then immediately entered the lodging. After entering the lodging, Jin-su switched the status window.
His eyes became dim and his body became heavy.
‘The curses remain as is too.’
Just as stamina, mana, and skill cooldowns were the same as right before the status window switch, the curses also remained as is.
“Recovery! Purification!”
Shin Su-a immediately cast recovery skill and purification skill. Not all curses disappeared with one skill.
“Recovery! Purification! Recovery! Purification! Recovery! Purification!”
Shin Su-a poured all her mana and cast recovery skill and purification skill as soon as the cooldown turned. Then things in front of her eyes became clear and her body became light.
The headache and nausea also gradually subsided.
The body that was rotting also became fine.
“It seems everything disappeared now.”
“That’s a relief.”
At Jin-su’s words, Shin Su-a’s face brightened.
“Go in and rest.”
“...Okay. You rest well too.”
“Yeah.”
Shin Su-a who hesitated for a moment returned to her own room, and Jin-su checked the points.
‘Enormous.’
Jin-su’s points that had revealed the bottom from making synthesis skills were currently increased to 900 million points.
‘If I sell all the items acquired today, it might even hit 2 billion points.’
But before selling at the auction house, selection work had to be done first.
‘How many usable ones are there.’
Jin-su began classifying the loot. The first thing he classified was class change books.
‘The types are diverse.’
There were all kinds by tanker, warrior, assassin, archer, mage, healer. Also, even if class change books of the same class, they weren’t all the same.
‘Even if the same class, the specialized skills can differ as much as wanted.’
Also, although quite rare cases, there might exist unique skills that exist only one among the skills of the changed class.
‘Just by looking at the class change book name, one can roughly distinguish.’
Ordinary assassin class change books have a 100% probability of having no specialized skills. But class change books with names like Moonlight Assassin, Dark Assassin, Pitch-Black Assassin, Shadow Assassin have a high probability of having specialized skills.
‘Points are abundant anyway.’
Jin-su set aside the class change books with a high probability of possessing specialized skills. After that, he entered skill book selection.
‘There isn’t anything special.’
Most were common skills.
‘I should set aside the ones worth learning for me and Shin Su-a.’
There were also quite a lot of skill books that could be used as materials for synthesis skills. Jin-su frantically proceeded with the selection work.
“Huh?”
At that time, one skill book that made Jin-su’s eyes flash entered his eyes.
‘Mask of Falsehood?’
It was a skill with a name he was hearing for the first time.
‘What kind of skill is it.’
He can roughly guess, but unless he learns it, he cannot know the accurate information of the skill.
This kind of skill book has a very strong element of luck.
‘It feels like a kind of lottery.’
If put up at a high price at the auction house, someone with leftover points might purchase it.
‘Points are abundant anyway. Let’s learn it directly.’
Cases where learning many skills becomes a minus were extremely rare.
Jin-su learned the Mask of Falsehood skill. At the same time as learning, information about the skill permeated into his mind.
“Hahaha!”
A large laugh burst from Jin-su’s mouth.
‘To think such a skill exists.’
Mask of Falsehood was a skill that can change one’s own appearance.
‘Who would have thought they were shady guys. They were learning such a rare skill well.’
With Mask of Falsehood of only Level 2, what could be changed was only part of the face. Jin-su went in front of the mirror in the lodging and tried using Mask of Falsehood.
‘The effect is weak.’
For now, slightly changing the size of parts of the body like eyes, nose, mouth was all.
‘What if I raise the level more?’
Jin-su fixed the Mask of Falsehood skill level at Level 222. After that, he used the Mask of Falsehood skill again.
“Waa!”
As the level rose, the dimension of the skill power changed.
Not only the facial features and face form but even the color of the eyes and hair could be freely changed.
‘It’s a jackpot.’
With this degree, disguising as another person also seemed possible. Jin-su recalled the face of the dead Lucas and used the Mask of Falsehood skill.
‘Similar.’
It wasn’t completely the same. But it was similar to the degree of mistaking if glancing.
‘Changing the body type is still impossible.’
Increasing or decreasing height or bulk was impossible. Body parts like hands or feet were the same.
‘Still, if the skill level rises more, it seems sufficiently possible.’
For now, even with this degree, it was an enormous jackpot.
‘I was giving up on looting the Chabel Guild’s guild house.’
If there is the Mask of Falsehood skill, it seemed he could properly loot the Chabel Guild’s guild house.
‘First, let’s finish the skill book selection work.’
Jin-su entered the skill book selection work. No additional special skills like Mask of Falsehood came out. But he could secure a lot of materials for synthesis skills.
‘Let’s do equipment selection tomorrow.’
Jin-su quietly left the lodging.
‘It’s fortunate I thoroughly extracted information from that guy.’
Before the main force of the Chabel Guild came, while conducting the interrogation, he extracted all the information that could be extracted. Therefore, he was in a state of having acquired information on where the Chabel Guild’s guild house is, of course, even that there is the guild leader’s office and lodging on the top floor.
‘Not having the key is a problem.’
The lodging inside the building is a PK-impossible safe zone. Unless the person who owns the key permits, entry itself was impossible.
‘Just destroy it.’
The city is a safe zone where monster intrusion is impossible, and the lodging is a safe zone where even PK is impossible. But this world is not a world inside a game.
It is a strict reality.
‘The city’s buildings can collapse and the lodging’s door can also be forcibly destroyed.’
That was the same for the Sanctuary skill.
‘The attack itself isn’t impossible.’
Naturally, destruction was also possible.
‘Well, it’s not easy.’
The Sanctuary skill Shin Su-a made withstood even the White Drake’s breath with ease. In the case of the lodging which is a PK-impossible safe zone, destroying the door or window was impossible with ordinary attacks.
Also, no matter how powerful the attack is in the system, it doesn’t break in one hit. Unconditionally, destruction was possible only by accumulating impact with continuous attacks.
‘So I gave up.’
In a state where there are no people who know the true nature of the Chabel Guild, if Jin-su attacks the Chabel Guild’s guild house?
The city NPCs and other guild players who run upon hearing the commotion won’t stay still.
‘But there is no justification to stop the guild master from beating down his own guild house.’
The probability of just passing over thinking ‘Is that guy crazy?’ was high.
‘Let’s not say even a single word.’
He disguised the appearance similarly, but the physique was slightly different. The voice was clearly different, and decisively, Jin-su didn’t know how to speak French or anything.
‘Keep the mouth shut and just loot the items gathered in the guild house.’
The Chabel Guild’s guild house was visible in Jin-su’s eyes. He took out the items Lucas was wearing from the inventory and equipped them. Like that, Jin-su who used the Mask of Falsehood skill to change his face entered the Chabel Guild’s guild house with confident footsteps.
